Director Michelle MacLaren Leaves Wonder Woman
Bad news for Wonder Woman fans! The Hollywood Reporter has found out that director Michelle MacLaren (Game Of Thrones) has left the upcoming Wonder Woman film that is set to star Gal Gadot (Fast Five) and maybe Scott Eastwood (The Last Ride). The main reason for her departure is being cited as "creative differences with WB" for the direction of the project. No replacement has been named and the movie is still currently slated for 2017.

Wonder Woman is an icon. She has long deserved the movie treatment. And this news is just another kick in the balls. Michelle MacLaren is a talented person. It sucks to lose her. Similarly Joss Whedon left a potential Wonder Woman movie a few years back. My question is what the fuck are the "creative differences" that WB wants that are turning off all these talented people off with? Do want her to be a damsel in distress for Steve Trevor to save? Do they want her to be a porn star? Cause seriously whatever it is they need to cut the shit and let the creative people craft the character and story.
My best guess to why MacLaren left is that WB probably wanted a large romance subplot tied to Scott Eastwood's Steve Trevor and she didn't want to focus on that bullshit and left. That's just me though cause I'm pretty much done with romance in superhero properties. (I'm such a happy person!) It's ruining Arrow right now. Olicitiy is a fucking disease that has infected the show and changed the funny, charismatic Felicity into weepy romantic fodder for Ollie and Ray to fight over. But back to Wonder, my point is that WB needs to stop turning everyone off with their idea of a Wonder Woman movie. Cause clearly people who know stuff about the character don't like their ideas.
Diana is one of my favorite heroes. She has had many great runs in comics by some awesome writers like George Perez, Gail Simone, Greg Rucka, and most recently Brian Azzarello. The movie could just put the ideas straight from there and I'd be happy. Or fuck it be lazy just adapt the 2009 animated movie that starred Keri Russell (The Americans) as Diana. Personally I don't care what you do just get this movie made. We have heard bullshit excuses for years like "writing a female led film is tricky" and "we just got to get the right people in place". I'm done with that crap. Hunger Games is one of the highest grossing franchises of all time. Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow is one of the most popular characters at Marvel. Women can kick ass. They are not tricky to write for. Just ask Game Of Thrones author George RR Martin.
There is nothing tricky about it. Craft a vision for the characters and let's do this shit. Stop the excuses. Stop the dumbass demands to your creative talent. And make a movie about a superhero that every wants to see. Not just because she is a woman, but because she is an inspiring character who has earned the right to grace the silver screen. (End Rant)

First Look At Jesse Eisenberg's Lex Luthor!
Exactly one year from today, Batman will meet Superman on the big screen. It will be a momentous occasion. Colors will look a brighter, food will taste a little better, and orgies will break out at the mere mention of Ben Affleck's chin. But until then we will have to just enjoy the first look images that Zack Snyder has been sporadically releasing. For today's viewing pleasure Entertainment Weekly has released the first picture of Jesse Eisenberg's (Zombieland) Lex Luthor.
Source: EW
The curls are gone and what remains is a bald scowling man. Seriously though I think that was what most people were afraid of, a curly haired Lex Luthor. Personally I was just like everyone else when Jesse Eisenberg was first cast. I was apprehensive about it. But after our second podcast called "When Jesse Met Smaug?", I got onboard. Jesse has shown time and time that he has acting ability. Just because he played Mark Zuckerberg before doesn't mean this performance will be a carbon copy. And from the sounds of the EW interview Jesse seems to be taking this character in a fun new direction. I mean he does look quite menacing in this picture. I'm excited to see what the final product looks like.

| Look at him in all his bald glory! |
As for the people who wanted Bryan Cranston for Luthor, what would be exciting about seeing another picture of Bryan Cranston bald? It would be the same thing you saw a million times on Breaking Bad. Just because he was bald in one role doesn't mean he needs to play every bald characters for the rest of his life. The man has hair goddamn it, let him show it off in his remaining years. Now while I do think Cranston obviously has the chops to play the titular villain, his age was my main concern. He was just too much older then Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill. Like in Smallville and Mark Waid's Superman: Birthright, I prefer a Lex who is of a similar age as the Big Blue Boy Scout. Eisenberg is the same age as the Beefcake of Steel which makes me happy. But for the people who want Cranston in a DC movie (or any comic movie), I (and about a billion other people) think he should play Jim Gordon in the Batman flicks. He is the perfect age and with a mustache, he is picturesque of Gordon's comic counterpart.
At the end of the day though, I would let a fucking ewok play Lex Luthor if he shaved his head. Glad to see that Jesse grabbed a razor and joined the famous bald community. Jesse Eisenberg, Larry David, George Constanza, Walter White #UniteTheBald!

Exploring The DC Cinematic Universe: Batman
Batman
Release Date: Unknown
Who is Batman?: Batman is the secret identity of Bruce Wayne, an American billionaire, industrialist, and philanthropist (You hear that Tony Stark?). Having witnessed the murder of his parents as a child, he swore revenge on criminals, an oath tempered with a sense of justice. Wayne trained himself to peak human physical and intellectual perfection. Often called "The World's Greatest Detective", he dons a bat-themed costume to strike fear into the heart of criminals and to fight crime in Gotham City.
Director: Ben Affleck (The Town)
Why?: Batman directing a Batman movie. In the immortal words of Stan Lee "Nuff said". But seriously Affleck is a major asset to the DCCU not just as an actor, but as a director. In all three of his directoral features Ben has displayed that he knows how to shoot dark and gritty. But what he handles best are the characters in his movies. Each one is an unique and interesting individual provided with kickass dialogue. In addition to shooting the film, Affleck, who is big comics fan himself, should co-write this script with his boy Chris Terrio (Argo).
Proposed Story: Batman thinks he knows his city better than anyone, but is he ever wrong. After a string of strange murders that implicate Dick Grayson (Nightwing), Batman must investigate into an urban legend, that he looked into as a child, called the Court of Owls. He soon finds there may be some truth to the legend, but will he be able to stop the Court's plans before they take out their next target, Bruce Wayne.
Inspired By: The main story will be inspired by Scott Snyder's The Court Of Owls. This story in particular showcases Batman's detective skills and expands upon the ever-growing Batman rogues gallery.
Lead Characters (Cast): I'm only sticking to the main Batman family. So just Batman, Nightwing, and Alfred will be in this film (Sorry Damian, Babs, Jason, and Catwoman).
1. Batman/Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck)
Why?: Affleck is going to be a great Batman. I have confidence in him. But in order to differ from Bale's version of the character, this Batman should be emphasized as"The World's Greatest Detective". He needs to show his skills of detection and solve a mystery. The Court of Owls storyline gives the character the chance to do just that.
2. Nightwing/Dick Grayson (Logan Lerman)
Why?: Dick is an essential part of the Batman mythos. Yet he has not had a proper film treatment (That's right Chris O'Donnell, you sucked. And JGL's "Robin" Blake doesn't count either) that the character so deserves. Having Ben Affleck as an older Batman allows for Dick Grayson to have already been Robin and don the mantle of Nightwing. I chose Alex Pettyfer because he is in good physical shape and is an up and coming actor (loved him in Fury). I would love to see some intense acrobatics in Dick's fight scenes as well.
3. Alfred Pennyworth (Jeremy Irons)
Why?: Alfred is Bruce's right hand man and confidant. There is no Batman without him. He provides Bruce with comfort along with some occasional dry wit. Jeremy Irons is an acclaimed British actor. He is a perfect choice to pick up the mantle of the World's most famous butler from Michael Caine.
Villains (Cast)
1. The Talon/William Cobb (Scott Adkins)
Why?: The current Talon (assassin) for the Court of Owls, William Cobb carries out any murder that the group asks of him. This part is mostly action focused and doesn't require the actor to take off his mask for pretty much all of it. I chose Scott Adkins because he is a martial arts master.
2. Lincoln March/Owlman (Casey Affleck)
Why?: The surprise villain of the film, Lincoln March is a seemingly straight-edge mayoral candidate that actually has ties to the Court and Bruce Wayne. Casey Affleck is a solid actor. I have fan casted him previously. Click here to read it.
3. Harley Quinn/Harleen Quinzel (Margot Robbie)
Why?: Harley would be great as a villain to be beaten down in a cold opening. Margot Robbie will have previous been in Suicide Squad by this point. So her appearance would bring more continuity to the universe. Could also lead to a Mr. J tease at the end.
4. The Penguin/Oswald Cobblepot (Nick Frost)
Why?: Iceberg club owner/notorious criminal Oswald Cobblepot becomes a high profile target of the Court of Owls. Batman is forced to protect his nemesis from an assassination attempt. Nick Frost is known for his comedic roles. He has talent. I think he is ready to break into drama and The Penguin is just the part to do it.

Jesse Eisenberg in "Suicide Squad"; You Heard it Here First!
Throughout the entirety of my existence I have never been right about anything. So this is a big moment for me. Today Deadline is reporting that Jesse Eisneberg (Batman V Superman) is in talks to reprise his Lex Luthor in the upcoming Suicide Squad. Now yesterday I wrote a article in our Exploring the DCU series about how Luthor could be a solid antagonist in the upcoming David Ayer film. Never did I actually think his appearance would occur. Nor did I think about 13 hours after writing the article that my suspicions would be confirmed. I read WB's minds. Totally Nostrodamesd those motherfuckers. Guess everyone gets one right eventually, right? #HumbleBrag. Anyway Suicide Squad is expected in theaters August 2016. You can also click here to see my article about Luthor in Suicide Squad.

Today is a day where it should be celebrated that I write my stupidity on the internet. No need to thank me because I have already thanked myself. So just get on your knees and thank god that you have access to my dementia.
P.S.- Let's hope this steamy relationship starts up again. I'm getting flustered just thinking about it.

| There is a God! |
If you aren't at least mildly aroused right now then you have no soul. Finally we will see some iconic DC characters grace the big screen. Aquaman, Flash, and of course Wonder Woman have long deserved solo flicks of their own. ( I mean Marvel's had a goddamn tree and a talking raccoon already).
When rumors a few months ago speculated that the Warners' movie slate would have films adapted from the likes of the Metal Men and Doom Patrol, but not Wonder Woman, I lost my shit (there is a podcast recording to prove it). Diana is the most well known female superhero in the world and finally WB wised up and green light her a movie. Thank god!
Besides Wonder Woman (and of course B vs S) I am definitely most excited for Suicide Squad in 2016. People love interesting villains. And I have been waiting for a villains solo movie for some time. I initially loved the idea of the Sinister Six film planned by Sony. That was until I saw Paul Giamatti's terrible Rhino and Jamie Foxx's lameass Electro. Now after Amazing Spiderman 2's lukewarm reception all those planned films are up in the air. So it's great that WB will start the comic movie villain genre with the Squad. This movie will have a completely different dynamic than the rest on this DC list. The general audience will be cheering for 6 villains with wacky interplay. As they go against an impossible task while also going head to head with (a hopefully fat) Amanda Waller. And of course shit always goes bad for Task Force X. Can't wait!
What movie are you most excited for? Sound off in the comments and make sure to check The Caped Informers for all your up to date comics news!
NOW LETS RAGE!!!!!!!!!!!

Rumor: "Justice League" Movie Villain Is Brainiac
Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice is the most hotly anticipated comic book adaption of 2016. Everyone wants to see Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman team up for the first time on the big screen. After what hopefully is a masterpiece, the DC movie universe will follow up with The Justice League. A film that will assemble all of DC greatest heroes to fight their largest threat yet. For years the rumored villain for a JL film has been one of their most frequent foes Darkseid, the all powerful dictator of Apokolips who is on an endless path of destruction in order to discover the Anti-Life Equation and rule all. That was until today when the Latino Review reported that Brainiac will most likely be the first villain to face the all powerful DC team.
Source: Latino Review
The story supposedly is that when Superman activated the Kryptonian scout ship that alerted General Zod in Man Of Steel, it alerted Brainiac as well. Brainiac has had many incarnations over the years, but all of them want to attain all the knowledge of the universe which the alien android achieves in a variety of ways. The character is definitely powerful enough to face off against the League and is even the main antagonist of DC Universe Online. What do you think of Brainiac as the JL villain? Sound off in the comments.
If this rumor is true there is only one man for the job...
CUMBERBATCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will not stop until this casting is announced!

Rumor: Is Doomsday in 'Batman V Superman'?
Could the creature that "killed" Superman have a part to play in Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice? Bleeding Cool seems to think so. A source from the movie has supposedly shown the site character designs of Doomsday. The site then points out that just because there are character designs does not necessarily mean that character will make the final cut of the film. But they do make for one hot rumor though.
Source: Bleeding Cool
We have all been lied to so much about this movie I don't know what to believe anymore. I know I keep saying that Lex Luthor ain't the only villain in this thing, but could it really be Doomsday who fights Superman alongside him? Maybe. Actually fuck it I'll say yes. Doomsday is powerful enough to back up Lex. Perhaps Luthor digs up Doomsday or some shit then he proceeds to throw down with Batman, Supes, and Wonder Woman. I think I just cracked this movie wide open. Who do you think is in this movie? Sound off in the comments.
I lied. After everything that has occur I can't believe any rumor that comes out about this movie. Unless Zack Snyder gets up in Hall H at SDCC at the end of the month and explicitly states that Doomsday is in this movie, I'm not buying shit.

New 'Gone Girl' Trailer
Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice may still be 22 months away (not like I'm counting or anything), but until then you can get your Batfleck fix by checking checking out David Fincher's Gone Girl based on the novel with the same name. Did Ben Affleck kill his wife? You'll have to head to a theater October 3rd to find out.
I need Ben to keep a little grizzle for Batman. Seasoned bearded Bat would kill it.

Did Kevin Smith Write A Fake 'Batman V Superman' Script?
Could everything we have heard rumored about Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice be from a fake script written by Kevin Smith (Clerks)? That's what Movieweb.com is claiming. The site received an email from a source that claims that the leaked script that every entertainment website has been basing their rumors off of is a diversion tactic by WB.
Here's exactly what the email from Movieweb.com said:
"This isn't a scoop regarding the plot or the details of the Batman v Superman movie or am I writing you in order to spoil or disappoint the general public.
My insider info regards a who has been the source of the vast majority of leaked information as regards to the movie and more importantly why.
Up until last year I worked for as a PA for a Warner Bros. exec until I was promoted to marketing. It was here I and several others where approached to work, directly and indirectly, for Susanne Knoll and sometimes Deborah Snyder.
It was here that I became a part of a particular strategy that Warner Bros has been using to great effect.
Early this year a Screenplay for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice which was commissioned by Warner Bros was leaked to several gossip sites. It was a scanned PDF of the entire screenplay baring a official Warner Bros watermark.
This script has been the source of almost every leaked detail about the movie for the last six months. It has been posted on sites then quickly removed due to cease and desist letters from Warner Bros.
While the screenplay is legit and the watermark is legit and it is was commissioned by Charles Roven himself...
But it is written by neither David S. Goyer or Chris Terrio.
It was written by Kevin Smith.
Late last year both Charles Roven and Zack Snyder approached Kevin Smith with a early treatment for the film and It was Kevin Smith who came up with the idea to write an entire screenplay based on it but with several huge red herrings and changes which do not appear in the final film. These include plot points and characters etc etc. and 'leak' it online.
This script was distributed by myself and others to gossip sites and movie sites like aintitcool, latino review, movie pilot, etc etc
My job was to pose as a worker at Warner Bros who was leaking the screenplay.
There were several others involved who posed as recently fired members of the production, interns and special effects artists and we all spread the misleading info around the web.
None of this was done maliciously and was a strategy to misdirect much of sites that intended to spoil the film."
So what should we believe? Are any of those rumored villains in the film? Has WB successfully trolled the media? I think it may be a legitimate possibility. A very interesting strategy to say the least. But how reliable is this email? Latino Reviews's El Mayimbe tweeted that "That story on that bum juice site is fake in itself." Hehe bum juice. But really what is going on?
Kevin Smith is a knowledgeable comic source and if this rumor is true he definitely has the capability of writing an extremely fan serviced script. Badass Digest says they also have a copy of this leaked script and they are also not sure if it is the real deal or not.
"Like I said, I'm on the fence about the legitimacy of this script. I trust El Mayimbe's network and the other information he has beyond this script, but something about the actual script itself - whether it be the errors or the cascading fan-service (Kord Industries, Jason Todd, a Shuster Street in Metropolis, Kyle Rayner, Carrie Kelley, Thanagar, mentioning Hob's Bay, the President is named Diane Nelson, who just happens to be the president of DC Entertainment) or the fact that tonally it is nothing like Man of Steel (Themyscira has an embassy in Metropolis!) forces me to remain humbly skeptical. If this is the script then Warner Bros has learned some lessons from their last couple of movies, although I worry the sheer weight of fan service in this script could crush the film."
Many of the fan service claims seem to be extremely far-fetched making it sound more and more like this "leaked" script is full of shit. I do not see Kyle Rayner or anyone from Thanagar coming anywhere near this film. Also an embassy for Themyscira in Metropolis only two years after the events of Man of Steel is almost a complete impossibility. Lastly naming the President after the president of DC Entertainment Diane Nelson is almost as big of a douchebag move as when Robert Singer named Bobby Singer after himself on Supernatural.
So all in all, I am now utterly confused. I don't know what to believe anymore. I know the photos of Batfleck and Superman are both legit, but is every other rumor from this film fabricated from this "script"? Could Metallo or The Joker or Brainiac really be in this movie and we have been victims of WB's genius plan? If so kudos to WB. They want to keep most of the information about this film a secret as long as possible and they seem to be succeeding. But this strategy also leaves fans with their dicks in their hands not knowing if they have be "smeckledorfed" or not.
Here are the 5 things I know about this film:
1. Zack Snyder is directing.
2. Chris Terrio is writing a screenplay from David Goyer's story
3. Ben and Henry's suits both look awesome
4. Jesse Eisenberg is Lex Luthor
5. Wonder Woman, Cyborg, and Aquaman are in it
Everything else I am going to declare as bullshit. So Victor Zsasz and Morgan Edge are not in this movie. Unless they actually are, I don't know! Damn you Kevin Smith! Guess everyone will have to be patient and wait to actually see the movie to know the truth. Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice is shooting now and will be in theaters May 2016.

I know the photos of Batfleck and Superman are both legit, but is every other rumor from this film fabricated from this "script"? Could Metallo or The Joker or Brainiac really be in this movie and we have been victims of WB's genius plan? If so kudos to WB. They want to keep most of the information about this film a secret as long as possible and they seem to be succeeding. But this strategy also leaves fans with their dicks in their hands not knowing if they have be "smeckledorfed" or not.
Here are the 5 things I know about this film:
1. Zack Snyder is directing.
2. Chris Terrio is writing a screenplay from David Goyer's story
3. Ben and Henry's suits both look awesome
4. Jesse Eisenberg is Lex Luthor
5. Wonder Woman, Cyborg, and Aquaman are in it
Everything else I am going to declare as bullshit. So Victor Zsasz and Morgan Edge are not in this movie. Unless they actually are, I don't know! Damn you Kevin Smith! Guess everyone will have to be patient and wait to actually see the movie to know the truth. Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice is shooting now and will be in theaters May 2016.

He looks glorious in that slightly brighter suit. Also gotta love his new haircut. But the biggest takeaway from this picture is the background. Looks a hell of a lot like Gotham to me. Behind him you can see smoke stacks mixed with dark landscapes that all just reek of sadness. Must be in Gotham. Hope to see a big chunk of the movie set in that shithole of a city.
Latino Review's El Mayimbe has an exclusive about 3 villains, who will supposedly appear in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. There could be some potential spoilers so you will have to hit the read more to check it out!

'Batman V Superman' Casts Scoot McNairy
Deadline is reporting that Scoot McNairy (Argo) has been cast in Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice in a top secret role. Just like B V S screenwriter Chris Terrio, McNairy has strong ties to Batman actor Ben Affleck. The more Affleck approved people on this movie the better. Bringing in Terrio to rewrite David "Shithead" Goyer was huge win for this film. So put another check in the plus column because McNairy is a very good supporting actor and will be great in whatever screen time he is given.
So who is McNairy playing? Latino Review's El Mayimbe suspects Richard "Dick" Grayson/Nightwing, but I believe that is a stretch. Scoot is 36 years old and if Dick was to be in this film I would believe he would be played a guy in his 20's. A second insider opinion comes from The Wrap whose sources say McNairy will suit up as the Flash in the movie. I find this rumor much more likely. He has the body type and could handle himself in the role of Barry Allen. My own personal guess though would be that he is playing another villain alongside Jesse Eisenberg's Lex Luthor. I have said from Day 1 that there is no way Lex Luthor is the only villain in this film. There has to be enough villain firepower in this movie for Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman to all fight alongside one another. So I think Scoot could be playing either Metallo or Brainiac to help add more fuel to Lex's villainous fire. Or maybe he is playing a villain with connections to Wonder Woman and that is why she is making her presence known. Whatever the case I believe McNairy will be a baddie in this flick. Who do you want Scoot to play? Sound off in the comments.

More Batman V Superman Rumors!
The most anticipated movie of 2016 may show it's first clip of footage at San Diego Comic Con '14 according to Latino Review's El Mayimbe. The insider tweeted "HOT #SDCC2014 RUMOR! The DC/Warners panel will show a hot clip from BATMAN v SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE. FIND SPOT @ HALL H line NOW!"
Hall H went crazy last year when Zack Snyder announced Batman would team up with Superman, but imagine the enormous reaction from the crowd if they saw a clip of the two heroes suited up next to one another. Or even better a quick fight scene? Odds would be against a fight clip appearing, but even if the clip is Superman waiting outside of a bathroom while Batman takes a shit, it's worth seeing.
